EMC is a software system for computer control of machine tools such as milling machines, cutting machines, robots, hexapods, etc. EMC is free software with open source code. 

The binary code is used most frequently via an enhanced tcl or tk shell, allowing scripting of major functions.  Tk GUI interfaces (TkEMC, MINI) also allow easy use of the program.
